Thank you for visiting my Tour of the Litchfield Hills fundraising page.  I've changed gears this year.  For the past few years, I participated in the Great Cycling Challenge and raised funds for cancer research.  This year I will raise funds to fight cancer and participate in the Tour of the Litchfield Hills!  Let's kick cancer's BUTT!

The Tour is a non-competitive 12, 30, 55, 75 and 100 mile bike ride through the scenic Litchfield Hills for riders of all abilities. For walkers and runners, the Tour also offers 2, 4 and 6 mile routes through downtown Torrington.  This year's Tour will be held on Sunday, August 4th.

The Tour's mission is to bring together community resources with the common goal of raising funds to support the care, treatment, education and prevention of cancer for residents living, working, or receiving treatment for cancer in Northwest Connecticut. By donating funds to The Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills, Inc., we will have a positive effect locally, in the Northwest corner, as our friends and families battle the disease.
